citizens into “ghettos” in order to control the Jewish populations

The largest ghettos were in Warsaw and Krakow Poland

After WWII started in 1939, the ghettoes in Poland and Germany were slowly emptied out- the populations were sent to concentration camps.
There were two types of basic camps: Work Camps Death Camps
![Page 33: Roots of the Holocaust. The Holocaust The systematic slaughter of not only 6 million Jews, but also 5 million others, approximately 11 million individuals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f175503460f94c2dfcf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Concentration Camps The first concentration camp
opened in January 1933, when the Nazis came to power, and continued to run until the end of the war and the Third Reich: May 8, 1945.
The camps were run by the S.S., Hitler’s elite squad of troops.
![Page 35: Roots of the Holocaust. The Holocaust The systematic slaughter of not only 6 million Jews, but also 5 million others, approximately 11 million individuals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f175503460f94c2dfcf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The most infamous of the concentration camps were Auschwitz and Dachau.
Dachau was the model for all other concentration camps, it opened in 1933.
Auschwitz was the largest and most deadly of the camps.
Between the two camps, millions of people were killed, and disposed of by the Nazis
![Page 36: Roots of the Holocaust. The Holocaust The systematic slaughter of not only 6 million Jews, but also 5 million others, approximately 11 million individuals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f175503460f94c2dfcf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The concentration camps followed Hitler’s Plan of the “Final Solution”: to exterminate all Jews from Europe.
The camps used poison gas, crematoriums, and mass shootings to execute hundreds at a time
![Page 37: Roots of the Holocaust. The Holocaust The systematic slaughter of not only 6 million Jews, but also 5 million others, approximately 11 million individuals.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649f175503460f94c2dfcf/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

the burial site.
